Ken Smith Compressor Wound users?

Sign in to disble this ad
I use 'em, and I like 'em.
Medium lights, .040 - .102 for the 4 strings, and the .125 (only B they make) for the, well, for the B...

I'd love to try a .130, but KSB doesn't do enough volume on these strings to make one.
Anyone have a .130 you've used and liked with your KSB Compressor set?

i don't have any experience with the 5 string sets, but i absolutely love the 4 strings. they are my current favorite strings. i just ordered the 44-106 set for an incoming G&L. i also ordered a slick round set for my lakland hollowbody. i'm really looking forward to that.

KS Compressors are my favorite strings for my bright basses (the Douglas and the SX in my sig below). I just LOVE them, although I only play 4-strings and can't speak to your question about a .130, sorry.

I like them a lot.

I use them, when I want something other than flats, or bright rounds.

Sound great on my P-bass.
Last forever.
